GENERAL

The heating system is separate and connected to the
cooling system. Through the fresh air intake (17) in front
of the windshield, air enters a collector box’’ (16), The
gir goes through a channel via the fan wheel (19) to the
heat exchanger (11) from where it is led into the passen-
get compartment. The fan and heat exchanger has a
common casing. The air is heated when passing the heat
exchanger heated by the cooling liquid, the temperature
of which can be varied by the thermostat valve (22). The
thermostat bulb is located in the current of air injected
into the passenger compartment. The distribution of air
to the passenger compartment is controlled by air distri-
butors (20) via controls. The current of air can either be

cover of the fan housing.

3. Pull out the cover, together with the fan motor.

4. Remove the nuts holding the motor to the front cover.

The fan motor and impeller are balanced together in order

to ensure vibrationfree running. An exchange system is

operative in respect of the complete fan unit.

Reinstall in the reverse order.

provide access to these two nuts, fold back the rubber
mat, unscrew the freewheel control handle and loosen
the two trim clips, whereupon the insulation can be
turned back from the cowl plate and the nuts removed.

4, Pull the front part of the fan housing casing out so far
as to allow removal of the heat exchanger.
Note: Proceed with care, to avoid damaging the

6. Pull out the front part of the fan housing casing and
lift out the heat exchanger. Disconnect the thermostat
coil by bending up the sheet metal tabs on the inside
of the heater casing. Loosen the control and the two
screws holding the protective casing to the thermostat
valve. The valve can now be removed.

Reinstall the thermostat valve in the reverse order. Then
refill the cooling system with water and check the hose

connections for leaks.

TOWHOOK ASSEMBLY, SAAB 95

The towhook assembly for the Saab 95 is designed for a
maximum trailer weight of 910 kg (2000 Ib).
To fit the towhook, proceed as follows:

A.

. Cut away the corrugated cardboard as before

Undo the four screws from the rear bumper mounts

in the legroom well of the extra seat. Remove the
rubber matting and mount the strut (2) with the bum-
per attachment screws. Cut away the corrugated card-
board so that the strut makes direct contact with the
deck plating.

. Undo the screws that secure the bumper to the rear

mounts. Lift up the towhook (1) and secure it by the
rear mounting bar with the bumper retaining screws.

. Chip away the underbody coating with a chisel or

similar so that the other attachment points of the
towhook make direct contact with the deck plating.
Drill four 8.5 mm (1/3) holes through the deck plat-
ing and strut (2), using the towhook as a jig. Mount

the four M8 fasteners.
and

mount the angle iron (3) in the same way. Relay the
rubber matting.

5. After the towhook assembly has been approved by
the appropriate inspecting authority, coat any expo-
sed metal surfaces with fresh underbody sealing

compound.
A wiring assembly kit for 7-pole trailer connecting socket

can be bought as an accessory.
Install the wiring according to the wiring diagram and

instructions.

The assembly kit comprises the following components:
